Ellesmere Port-Chester

This route forms part of the National Cycle Network (NCN) route 45 and Regional Route 70 (ie Cheshire Cycleway).

A towpath route along the Shropshire Union Canal between Cromwell Street, Ellesmere Port and Pepper Street, Christleton (on the east side of Chester). The towpath also provides access to the National Waterways Museum (the renamed Boat Museum) in Ellesmere Port.

Some stretches are hazardous for tag-alongs and trailers because of the awkward surface and angles at bridges.
